TIE Cedar Rapids Iowa, Republican
says: On Friday blind man, led by a
child, entered the Cedar Rapids Ma
tional bank and, instead of asking for
aims. fairly took away the breath of
Cashier Ralph Van Vechton by depos-
iting draft for over 10000. 1t turns
out that the blind man, William Church
of Troy Mills, this county, lost his eye
sight in the service of his country, and
was not able until recently to estab-
lish his claim to a pension. The pen
sion allowed by the government to such
as he is $72 month, which sum, ex-
tending over all the intervening years
since be first applied for the pension,
amounts to the face of the draft above
referred to. If we are not very much
mistaken this is the largest aggregate
of pension arrears ever received by any
Iowa soldier.

seeds That (serminate QuIekIy.

The human system is fruitful soil,
and among seeds that terminate most
rapidly in it are those of rheumatism
and neuralgia. a slight cold, brought
on by sitting in draught, wet feet or
damp clothes, will deveIope either of
those abominable painful maladies with
unpleasant rapidity. The proper
preventive of this agonizing vegetation
is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, a
medicine which nullifies a tendency to
either of the maladies named, and
soothes the aches which they cause.
Nor is it less effective as a remedy for
rheumatism than as its preventive, a
fact as amply attested as any other re-
lating to its curative properties.
Mariners, miners, frontiersmen, and
others have ever found it faithful pres
ervative of health in unfavorable re-
gions, and benign remedy for malarial
disorders, and stomach, liver and
bowel complaints. It is a fine promoter

THE news that E. w. War6eld, SUI
perintendent of the seventh division of
the railway mail service, has resigned,
and that r. NJ. Thomas, of
Kansas City, has succeeded him, will
be hailed with joy by large majority
of the newspaper men of the state of
Kansas. Mr.. Warfield was an ardent
republican, the Atchison Patriot
claims, yet many were the murmurings
by the republican papers throughout
the state at his dereliction of duty and
many the howlings put up against him
because of the wonderful mixture of
matter he could evolve out of his mail
service. Republican papers may be
terribly partisan, yet they won't have
any nonsense about the mails, and a
good democrat in this capacity, all
will agree, is better than an incapable
or negligent republican. 1t is to be
hoped our new man will inaugurate q
reform at once.

THE president has given out a broad
hint that he does not care to have dele
cations from Memphis, st. Paul, Min
neapolis, Chicago and half a dozen
other cities coming to Washington to
invite him to visit their respective
towns. 1t will be observed that Mr..
Cleveland waited until he had secured
an invitation to Kansas City before
giving the hint.-K. G. Journal.
Possibly is is because he has counted
his silver spoons since the Kansas CITY
delegation visited him, and judges
other western people by the specimens
from the mouth of the Kaw.

quite an elaborate write-up of the en-

rietors especially, is getting there,
judging by its general appearance and

A GENTLEMAN from the east, in
conversation Saturday with promi-
nent capitalist of this city, said: ''I've
been here now ten days, and one thing
that impresses me with the conviction
that Wichita is bound to be a great
city, is the fact that the business men
all stand to each other upon all mat
tiers of interest to the city. There are
no chickering's or divisions on this sub
ject. They all come to the front every
time and go down into their pockets
whenever necessary. When you see
such a spirit as this manifested in a
community it is found to succeed. p

wrote too many letters.
The above, it win be seen speaks Of
several townships not referred to by
Mr.. Conkling. Nevertheless most of
them voluntarily voted bonds for the
proposed road, in hopes Of, as their
leaders expressed it, Offering better in
ducements than the Lyndon route
would, and by this means downing
their neighboring town. But Mr..
Conkling emphatically repeats that no
definite proposition was ever made to
Usage City, and the proposition to vote
bonds was their own doing and with
out any solicitation by him. .

If 1 sought to become a councilman
for the purpose of securing certain
privileges to the Kansas mining COM
pany why did we present our prop
osition to the old council? Why did
we not wait until after the election?-
A. A. Wells in Soden's paper:
Simply because you thought that the
old council at its last meeting without
mature consideration, might possibly
be induced to pass your proposition to
tie up the city for twenty-five years,
and that if they did not do so you would
be able to say just what you do in the
above, and use it as an argument as
to your purity of purpose. 1t was a
trick unworthy of a man of principle,
and only on par with the lies Cir
culated on the street corners on
election day, but which when chal-
lenged to be proven had to be dropped.
